If you go down to June 17th 2016. It lists more information. I don't know if they just never updated the Namus or what, but the unidentified male was found at the exact same place as this UID, so I am assuming that it is the same case. Any thoughts?


It could be two different cases though.

The news article seems to be the same decedent.

There is a lot of pictures on namus now. I looked up the beltbuckle and it seems to be from Ferragamo or a knock-off from it. Sweatshirt is from Akoo. That's easy to see from the label.

The clothes all look male to me. Judging by the style I think he is something like 15-40y.

Not a lot of information to go on. The clothing is pretty recognizable, but no info on the decomp of the body? Just bones? I hope they have DNA. It might be hard with the degree of degradation but maybe they can get it from the bones?
